Remembering Our Silent Keys 

                                                                            San Joaquin Net History

                                                        The San Joaquin net was formed April 28, 1959, by                                                               K6EJT Bill with a group of amateur radio operators                                                             that included:
                                                        Al K6RPL, Roger K6HEZ, Alex W6BWM, Fred WA6AFW,                                                         Joe W6YQK, Jim K6ZFM, Floyd W6MJS, Verne K6EBO,                                                             John W6QRB, Sam K6OBG, Charlie K6SWW and Mike                                                           WA6OLG.
They met on 3.915 Kc every night but Sundays and holidays.
Members gave a weather report from their area.
The net increased in members, and changed the name to The San
Joaquin Net.  The net has grown to a membership of over seventy
members with Q T H's throughout California.

                                                                                  The history of the San Joaquin Net was
                                            Compiled by Edith L. "Salley"  Nikkel  WB6FOA  of Pleasant Hill and copied

     2021 San Joaquin HF Net Picnic This Weekend - May 1st!

                                    10:00 AM - 2:30 PM

                                 Updated April 29, 2021

​​Last year we were unable to meet at Roeding Park in Fresno. The City of Fresno is not currently accepting reservations. Because there was some interest in perhaps getting together this year,  Larry AD6W, checked into the possibility of meeting in Kingsburg on May 1, 2021. Kingsburg is right off Highway 99 and about 20 miles south of Roeding Park where we have met in past years.

Memorial Park is larger and has a reserved covered picnic area with tables, BBQ facilities, water, a horseshoe pit game area, restrooms and a play area for kids. It is located eight-tenths of a mile off of Highway 99 on the corner of Sierra and 18th right across from Kingsburg High School.   Parallel parking on the street is suitable for RV parking along two sides. Other events could be going on simultaneously. Larry has reserved a place for us there for Saturday, May 1st from 7:00 AM to 3 PM. 

The park is near the restored 1875 Historic Kingsburg SP Railroad Depot of which Larry is President! He is up to offering brief tours if anyone is interested. Kingsburg has a clean and quaint main street with lots of restaurants, a very cute old time ice cream parlor, etc. 

From the results of a survey taken earlier, it was decided to offer a packaged lunch instead of our usual potluck. At this point in time it will most likely be a hot dog and/or hamburger lunch special. Details will be forth-coming in QSTs on the net and here on our webpage. This page will be updated several times between now and May 1st, so check back here from time to time. 

A list of who plan to attend can be found below. During the net we will be requesting updates between now and May 1.​​​

Thank you to Larry, AD6W, for arranging a place for our SJHF Picnic in Kingsburg this year. A special thanks to the Kingsburg group for purchasing  all of the hamburgers and  trimmings and grilling them; Jim, AA6F for donating the hot dogs, chips, condiments, etc.; Myron, WA6BLB and Debbie, N6IBH for donating all the drinks; and so many people for adding sides and desserts. We had over 40 in attendance this year which made it one of the best-attended picnics in years.

Here are a few pictures from the May 1st picnic for now from the Sheklians and Whipkeys. As I receive others from those in attendance, I will add those to the post.
